I'm a Newbie and need support

[Guest guest]

Hi, I'm so glad that I found this group. I've been searching for the

right group for about three months.

I've had Lupus since 1985 and was diagnosed with Fibro shortly

afterwards. As I have gotten older, the fibro has gone crazy (LOL),

I'm hurting in places that I didn't know existed. (smile)

About two months ago, I had the worst flare up in my life (lupus,

fibro and siatic nerve). I thought I was going out of my mind, but

thanks to God I made it through. At the moment I'm still experiencing

some pain, but my main issue is, that I stay HOT all the time.

I'm through with menopause, so I'm asking is it fibro?

Peace and Blessings

I'm not going thru menopause and I'm hot when everyone else is cold and vice

versa.

My docs think it is probably the meds; but could also be the fibro. I know

that's not an answer, but it's hard to separate causes sometimes.

Hi Vonn,

I'm glad you found this group too. I think you will like it here. There are

a lot of very nice people who know a lot and are very supportive. We are like a

big family.

I was dx in 1991, after several years of trying to find out what was wrong

with me. I too have several other illnesses, as do many others on this site.

It seems to run with fibromyalgia.

I too am way past menopause and have a bad time with being hot. Particularly

late afternoon to evening and night. I can be cold in the daytime and then be

hot in the evening with no change in temperature. Like now I have shed my

layers of sweater and sweatpants, socks and warm slippers to T shirt and

lightweight pants and bare feet. It goes on like this most days. I can get hot

in the daytime too, but not as ofter in winter. I sleep with a fan on and a air

processor and lots of times the window open a little too. I wear one of those

sleep camisoles to bed.

So all of this is to say that I know what you are going through - and it's not

all that uncommon with fibromyalgia, and some other illnesses I have. 'm sorry

you are going through this too as I know it is a real pain.

I hope you find this group to be as loving and helpful as I have.

I look forward to getting to know you.

Hi Vonn. welcome to the group. You'll like it here.

I have to agree with Angie. My hot flashes just floor everyone else who is

cold. Don't know what can be done about them.

God bless.
